These spaces strengthen citizen participation in the creation of a city, the resolution of problems that afflict the community in general and actions that guarantee a better quality of life for the individual in society.

All of them, together with the CAMoN team, were present in the same work space.

At the work table, environmental problems were exposed that can be controlled with the use of the app and the air monitoring device. This allows the linked entities to manage environmental issues in an inclusive way for citizens, promoting participation and creating community.

In the event there was time for gaming and a space was provided for the in-depth interaction with the CAMoN app. Then, there was a brainstorming, which was generated together. […]
